http client ?

[kirkholt]

Hello

Does anybody have som sample source code for an http client ?

(I need to collect measurement data from several NB 5270. Therefore I need to post data to a webservice on a central webserver)

Best Regards

Hi Ole,
I'm using my NetBurner as an HTTP client, so I was wondering if your application is similar to mine. Are you asking that your NetBurner originate a connection out to an existing web server page? And then interact with that page?

The weather demo available on our website acts as a HTML client. It connects to a NOAA weather page and parses data from their webserver. This data is used to build a webpage on the NetBurner to serve data to incoming connections.

Have a look at
http://demo.netburner.com:81/INDEX.HTM

the http client is in http://demo.netburner.com:81/getdata.txt

hi,
i used the example code, to download any files via http.
with some files it works great. for example with

Code: Select all

char DestGet[] = "GET /search?hl=de&q=http+request+get&btnG=Suche&meta=\r\n";
char DestName[] = "www.google.de";

but with

Code: Select all

char DestGet[] = "GET /download/wetter.htm\r\n";
char DestName[] = "www.symboter.de";

i get an html-error site, created by the server.
but if i use a browser on a pc, i get precisely what i wanted.

any ideas?

I am assuming that the browser is altering the request in some manner that NBLib/yourApp is not. Something like:

char DestGet[] = "GET wetter.htm\r\n";
char DestName[] = "www.symboter.de/download/";

instead of your original:

char DestGet[] = "GET /download/wetter.htm\r\n";
char DestName[] = "www.symboter.de";



where the browser has altered the request in some manner.

I would fire up ethereal/wire shark and see if I can see the difference the browser has caused

hm, that was my first step. i also fetched some network packets from my browser with wireshark. the only thing i do wrong, is that i dont use "HTTP/1.1", but it doesnt make a difference
